CHICAGO — Indiana University Northwest junior forward Nia Allen (Chicago, Ill.) has been named the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) Offensive Player of the Week, earning her first weekly conference honor, the league announced Tuesday.

Allen earned the recognition after averaging 19.5 points and 9.5 rebounds across two games last week, shooting an impressive 60.9 percent (14-of-23) from the field. The junior also contributed four steals and three assists during the week.

Allen delivered a career performance Friday against Grace College (Ind.), recording a double-double with 28 points and 13 rebounds in an 81-73 RedHawk victory. She connected on 11-of-14 attempts from the field while adding three steals and one assist to help IUN secure its first win of the season.

She followed with an 11-point, six-rebound performance Saturday against Bethel College (Ind.). Allen also contributed two assists, one steal and one block in the contest.

Allen's offensive production provided a major spark for the RedHawks during the two-game stretch, highlighting her impact on both ends of the floor as IUN continues its 2026-27 campaign.
